I was really hopeful...

The controls on this game may be worse than it was on NCAA football 2014. I was really hopeful the first few days playing, but now having played pretty heavy for 3 days I do not like the controls at all. 

Its slow as hell to make adjustments, nearly impossible, I always somehow end up on some player I don't mean to be on and they just don't move like at all, sometimes the safeties don't even jump when I am usering them for a pick. It's new I get that but man this is really rough. The Audible screen doe not need to take up that much space and cover up players so badly, etc etc.

This is terrible animations... I mean I have played EA football games for over 24 years now each year. These controls are one of the worst may be the worst I have ever played. The coding in the game is 50% complete literally...

bummer.

I've been playing EA games for 35 years and though it ain't perfect it feels good to me, better than Madden IMO.

Yea sadly it just doesn’t feel finished? Which is weird to say but I’m assuming the new Madden is similar… and it’s more of a reskin than we all had hoped

This game looks like it was made 10 years ago.

It looks like they took their plans from ncaa 15, added likeness and useless theatrics, held the hand out for money from the user base. Definitely disappointed. 

I mean in first 5 days of the game being out, all the nerds got stacked teams and players NMS people won’t see for months lol. I started 13-0 then lost 3 games straight to people with all 88-90s available lmao.

Most of the community are either remaining willfully ignorant or bursting with so much nostalgia that they refuse to admit what we all knew was coming... regardless of how much time they had to build this game, of course it was always going to be basically a reskin of Madden with slightly different presentation/gameplay, using the same outdated Frostbite game engine, from ~2008 era, which was PS3 generation at the time.  Trust me, that's OLD.  I know, because i'm also old as dirt.

Imagine what fatball simulation could be liek if done well in Unreal Engine 5, or literally anything else slightly more modern.  Unfortunately, that can and will never happen given these yearly release cycles.  EA simply is not capable of doing much beyond adjusting attribute sliders to alter gameplay from year to year, while we pony up full retail prices (plus much, much more for many of us engaging with various Ultimate Team game modes) for what amounts to essentially a roster update.

That being said, what other options do we even have for simulation football titles?
